Yesterday, Harry Styles fans everywhere were crushed to learn that their favorite One Direction would not be playing Prince Eric in Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid."

However, since the only actor who is locked in to be in the film is Halle Bailey as Ariel, there is still hope for him to be played by someone amazing!

Here's a list of some of the best actors (and one singer) who I think would be perfect for this role. Disney, if you need any ideas, I'm your girl.

1. Sebastian Stan

That hair! Those eyes! That charming and sweet smile! You take one look at this guy, and I guarantee the first thing you think of is that he could play Prince Eric. Sebastian Stan is my personal #1 pick to play Eric.

2. Timothee Chalamet

Timothee Chalamet always has such a longing and wistful look in his eyes, which makes him somehow even prettier. I could totally see him staring at the sea as Eric, wondering where his dream girl may have gone.

3. Milo Ventimiglia

Milo Ventimiglia is a little bit older, but I think it could work really well! He always plays such confident roles and has the most amazing smile. He could bring a really mature twist to the role.

4. Logan Lerman

Eric's kind of a loner, and Logan Lerman has always played the adorable loner in all his movies. I think he could put a good, brooding twist on the role.

5. Shawn Mendes

I know he's not an actor, but Eric absolutely has to sing in this version of The Little Mermaid. The two songs he had in the Broadway production were not good at all. Plus, Shawn is so dreamy and lovable, I could easily see Ariel falling for him instantly.

6. Jordan Fisher

Jordan Fisher's already really well-known in Disney, having already done "Happily Ever After" for a Disney Parks fireworks show and starring in several other Disney shows. Plus, he's incredibly charming and, you guessed it, has an amazing singing voice. Disney, I'm telling you, Eric HAS to sing in this version.

7. Joe Keery

He may not exactly look the part, but just hear me out on this. Joe Keery is such a light-hearted person and could make Eric such a comedic role. Plus, he's not in nearly enough projects. I would love to see him in more roles, especially as a Disney prince.

8. Darren Criss

Darren Criss is simply charming and oozes charisma. He also has a lot of experience in the world of musicals, so he would be a very charming Prince Eric.

9. Skylar Astin

Skyar Astin is such an unapologetic goofball and never fails to put a smile on my face. He's also such a sweet and lovable guy, so the entire audience would fall in love with him instantly.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
